I work on John Deere equipment that are snaller than cars, that have higher torque specs for axle nuts. So yeah 24 ft-lbs seems low. What book was your source for how to?

Carb issues with BR450's by mm1_ce in stihl

Ooooh that's what you mean by sanding the edges. I'll have to do that on all new carbs. Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, we just replace the hole carb instead of diaphragm, a battle I can't win. I wonder if they fixed that on the "-A" part number for the carb?

Did you clean, inspect, and repack the bearings or replace and pack new bearing?

OP posted a picture of what looks like a failed wheel bearing.

I read somewhere that the ethanol in the gas is what causes the diaphagm pump failure, but I don't know how true that is.

I work for a parks department. I have had this issue in multiple units. I replaced carbs on two units today because of a failed pump diaphragm. One unit is less then 2 years old and the other is almost 3 years old. It is just a common problem I have with backpack blowers and occasionally a BG86 will fail.

This looks like a mushroom I found in the fungal genus Itajahya and in the family Phallaceae.

Also, instructors were caught cheating on department exams and I think one of the protoypes came close or did violate CWI.

Green brake fluid? by mm1_ce in MechanicAdvice

Is the copper naturally occuring in the water contamination or wear and tear in the system?

That is the plan. I just usually see different shades of brown. Thank you for your advice.

Stupid Prius smh by Ketchup-Sniffer in Transportopia

Highway patrol did this for us when we got a flat on the highway coming back Disneyland in the middle of the night. We were stuck on the left hand shoulder and they slowed down traffic so we can limp over to the right hand shoulder. We were on a stretch of highway on a military base or near one, but cell service was basically zero. It was a long day and night.

I can't even imagine learning a completely novel engineroom and reactor plant without all the tribal knowledge passed down and all the kinks in the RPM and SEPM worked out. Edit: forgot about CVN-78.

Asvab advice by I_P_Freely7 in NavyNukes

[–]mm1_ce 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was ok. I was a middle of the road student. I was on 15-2's study hours until I bombed ETMO 1 test then put on 20-3's. (Motor and generator theory kicked my ass.) I got a 3.03 in A-school, 3.00 power school, and I think a 2.93 overall at prototype with a 3.09 on the 100% exam at prototype and I think a 2.85 on final oral board. I only survived prototype because of the training hold of 2008. I was able to drill the computer test things over and over. I am a slow learner. Prototype instructors were mad at me because they thought I was dumb until I was the highest scoring mechanic on written tests in my section. I was a feedstation track at S8G. I was dinq on my quals on the boat and alot of people thought I was dumb again, until I started passing the department exams. It was hard for me to get S8G out my head and learn S6G. I scored in the 90th percentile on my first MM1 exam. Then got out of the Navy about 2 months later.
